Frédéric Pascal holds a PhD in Digital Signal Processing from the University of Paris X-Nanterre. From November 2006 to February 2008, he was a post-doctoral fellow in the Digital Signal and Information Processing team at the SATIE laboratory, CNRS, ENS Cachan, France. Between March 2008 and December 201, he was an assistant professor in the SONDRA laboratory at CentraleSupélec. In 2012, he obtained an Habilitation à Diriger la Recherche (HDR) in Signal Processing at Université Paris-Sud. Between August 2013 and August 2014, he was a visiting associate professor in the ECE department at the National University of Singapore. Since January 2014, Frédéric Pascal has been a full professor at CentraleSupélec's L2S laboratory. Since January 2017, he has been in charge of the "Signals and Statistics" group at L2S. He is also coordinator of data science activities at CentraleSupélec and holder of the Givaudan Chair in Data Science. Since September 2017, he has been a member of the DATAIA Institute Board as Program Coordinator. From 2015 to 2017, he was President of EURASIP SAT in Theoretical and Methodological Trends in Signal Processing (TMTSP) and is a member of the SAM Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Frédéric Pascal is also associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing and Elsevier Signal Processing. His research interests include estimation, detection and classification for statistical data in digital signal processing and applications in radar and imaging processing. He has authored and co-authored over a hundred publications in leading journals and participated in conferences on Signal, Image and Statistical Processing.
